Gather Together & Give Thanks

The Painted Autumn Suite works well for some fun Fall cards or even masculine cards.  This one is great for Thanksgiving — Gather Together & Give Thanks with falling acorns — perfect!  Today’s card has lots of texture — Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder for the background, 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon topped with 1/4″ Copper Trim, then add in some Copper Metallic Thread — WOW!  We added the Painted Autumn designer paper of falling acorns and a label with the fabulous greeting and more acorns punched out with the Pretty Label punch.  Both the acorn designer paper and the label are backed with Cajun Craze which is such a fall color to me.

Your Kindness Means So Much

The Painted Autumn Suite has so many fun possibilities and different looks.  I used the Burlap Background stamp for some added texture on Very Vanilla cardstock.  For the sunflower I used Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze inks which gave some fun depth to the card.

Suite Surprise with Painted Autumn

Each month I hold a Suite Surprise class — this is a class focused on one of the many fabulous Suites in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs, we make cards and projects using the products in the suite.  This month’s Suite was the Painted Autumn Suite which includes the Painted Harvest stamp set, Leaf Punch, Painted Autumn designer paper, 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and Touches of Nature Elements.  One of the fun parts of the Suite Surprise is the little treat item they each get.  Here’s what they each received last night.

I love making little 3-D treats — I made larger versions of this tote years ago and had forgotten all about them.  I saw these cuties that Dawn Griffith made and knew they were PERFECT for this month’s Suite Surprise.  They whipped up pretty quick.  I was able to get four totes from one 12″ x 12″ piece of designer paper and two pieces of cardstock — love it!!!  Here is is up close — so cute — I put some Trail Mix in each tote.
